Topic: Horrors that pleasantly surprised you when you had zero expectations

Lately I've been on the kick of renting horrors from my trust Blockbuster on-line for the sake of renting them. I could give a total shit about them before I pop them into my DVD player. But once the ending credits role, lately I've found myself not turning some of them off after (30) min. and being pleasantly surprised.

What are some of the horrors that you gave up on before you even watched, but as it turned out you actually felt like it was at least worth the rental fee?

My Super Psycho Sweet Sixteen comes to mind. I thought it was going to be the Twilight of slasher films, but I was wrong. Ended up being a damn good slasher film. Unfortunately it still isn't on DVD yet. Had to buy on itunes

Babysitter Wanted was definitely one that surprised. Also a canadian flick called Home Movie, loved that with very little expectations going in. It's a shame that movie is really unknown in horror circles, especially since it came out before Paranormal activity

I so hate to admit this, but I made it through Sorority Row. But what surprises me is how the whole "I Know What You Did Last Summer" re-vamped "pitch" even gets picked up. I can imagine the pitch meeting: Think "I Know What You Did Last Summer" but Greek. Ca-Ching.
